Abstract
A link information storer stores link connection information and a node information storer stores node label information by sequentially searching links from the beginning of a network when data in a network structure are configured by linking nodes according to the relations among nodes (N), which represent basic units of data. The link information storer stores a previous or next node identifier of each link. When a plurality of links share the same next node, their pieces of link information are stored successively. To indicate that the next nodes are the same, a positive or negative sign is attached to the node numbers showing the previous nodes. Link numbers are uniquely assigned to respective links. A node identifier is made to correspond with a link identifier, which is realized either by assigning as the value of the node identifier the link number of a link connecting the node to the next node, or the maximum or minimum value of the link numbers of links connecting the node to the next nodes, or by attaching a unique node number to a node as with attaching a unique link number to a link.
